    How do you treat it?

    Hi Ben I will make the assumption that for this game, you are being assessed by your GCSE PE teacher as I was for this, rather than a qualified assessor. I'm bound to face some backlash for this, but it's important to remember that some aspects of the game will have to be officiated...

    FA Cup Final 2016

    I've actually given this one quite a lot of thought today. In my opinion our 4 best referees this year have been: Clatts - Yet to be 4th official so you assume it won't go to him Dean, Atkinson, Moss - All have already done an FA Cup final so obviously can't be them Then, in my opinion, the 2...

    Floating Penalty Spot

    Stationary and motionless are EXACTLY the same thing... No movement. At all. A football is not stationary if it has been placed, then moves due to the wind.

    2016-17

    Couple of little tweaks here and there which may make a difference, and clears up a couple of discussions which we have had in here in the last 6 months or so. - The referee no longer decided when a kick from the penalty mark is complete. 'The kick is completed when the ball stops moving, goes...

    Red card-where to send the player?

    Assuming that a parent/guardian is present (which most are U7-15) then they're off home. If not, I don't believe you should allow a young person to wander off on their own, so unless they're causing me or anyone else any extra grief, better for them to stay.

    You know you have to give way to the left in the penalty area?

    Cold hands

    I have to say I think that's a tad excessive to switch leagues just to avoid getting cold hands. I imagine nipping to Sports Direct and getting some gloves would be a whole lot easier. :p

    Trouble Reporting - Whole Game System

    Had a similar problem yesterday. Ended up just sending it in the 'old fashioned' way.

    Whole Game System - HELP!

    So I've been attempting to add yesterday's cautions to WGS, never had a problem before. However, this time, as I click 'save details' on the match one of the team's boxes goes red (they are on the system) and it won't let me progress. Anyone experienced this before? Thanks in advance

    Penalty kicks - mistake

    Having watched the whole game I have to say I think that UEFA will have a VERY close eye on him.

    Longest serving members......

    My favourite period of RefChat in my 3 years is without a doubt the couple of weeks we had of 'Mpaima Israel' for those who remember... :D

    "Double Header" Fixtures

    Happens in the youth league I ref in quite a lot. Match length decreases by 33% and ref is paid 1.5x normal fee, split between both clubs.

    10 yards

    I think I'd get laughed at if I asked someone to retreat '9.15 metres'. 10 yards is common football language.
